document.baseuri
Gabriel,

Would it help to know that document() can take a second argument, a node set, which when used sets the BaseURI used as the starting point for resolving a relative path to the BaseURI of the first node in the given set, instead of the stylesheet as normally?

That is, document('my.xml') will find my.xml next to the stylesheet, but document('my.xml',/) will locate "my.xml" relative to the parsed entity where "/" was found (which is typically, of course, the root node of the source document of the transform).

Depending on your file architecture, this may help you work around your problem. (Though if it's an MSXML3 bug, maybe not.)

Cheers,
Wendell

hehe yeah that's exactly my problem.. the only XML file I can open with document() is if it's the same folder as the XSL. :/
